NP Rank:
Racist Steve Malzberg!
Today on his WOR afternoon show, Steve Malzberg was having a discussion with a guest who is the author of a new book on illegal immigration. During the discussion, Malzberg said there is a 40% unemployment rate in African American neighborhoods. Malzberg didn't specify what neighborhoods- the comment was geared towards African American neighborhoods in general.
Of course this is an idiotic statement, and talkshow hosts have been known to make idiotic statements, but where do we draw the line? During the same show, Malzberg equated cleaning toilets with the kind of work that many hardworking illegal immigrants do.
I say enough is enough. We have to draw the line against this hate-filled rhetoric, or it will continue.
Please email Steve Malzberg and his sponsors. I've submitted this story to a bunch of sites. I will have the proper contact info soon.

As this is clearly an opinion piece, please add the Opinion tag to your story headline and the text of your post. Thanks.

I agree, but I would like to put in a pitch for a return of the opinion section OR perhaps an opinion template?
back to your regularly scheduled posting

In the works -- keep an eye for it.

Oh good. I'd quite given up on my continuing requests for one. Is there a chance we'll have an up-to-date flaming policy too?

I'm not sure how to label my article as an opinion piece. I think Mac computers don't have the same options on this site.
I think this story belongs where it is at, but I can see how someone might see how this is an op-ed piece.
Chances are, other sites will report this story, which means someone may end up posting this again.

Bob:
You make some great leaps and exhibit your own very obvious bias in your little post on me. First, I never generalize about Blacks, Jews, or anyone else. The African-American unemployment rate is, I believe around 8 or 9%. How would I believe that it is 40% "in general" in balck areas? Doesn't make much sense does it Bob?
As far as "equating cleaning toilets" with the work some immigrants do, you need to listen closer. I have often complained that it is those on the left who argue in favor of illegals entering this country and they say that these folks are needed because they do the jobs no one else will do such as making beds, cleaning toilets, picking crops. I have often said that I consider these statements to be racist, and that the media would call it racist, if I or other conservatives had said that we need illegals for these reasons.. I don't say it, but you thought I did, and made my point. Thanks so much.

Steve, I didn't just pull the 40% figure out of the air. You said it! You said on your show that there is a 40 % unemployment rate in black neighborhoods.
I was just in Asbury Park yesterday. Asbury Park is what I consider a African American neighborhood. I can guarantee you there is not 40% unemployment among blacks. Your comments are reflective of how you see African Americans.
I was listening to your show yesterday and you had the temerity to call Governor Patterson a racist, while in the next few minutes you refer to Barrack Obama as Barrack "Hussein" Obama. Hypocritical, maybe? I love how you complain about everybody being labeled a racist, but then do the same exact thing. This is typical of a right wing talk show host.
I applaud you for trying to defend your comments, though. Only a few "conservatives" I've criticized have had the courage to respond.

I guess Steve could only spin so far.

I wonder if Steve would admit that the Tennessee shooter was influenced by hate-filled rhetoric from the right.

I've never heard a conservative talk show host tell their listeners to commit such crimes. On the other hand here is a song from Marilyn Manson.
"Cake And Sodomy"
I am the god of fuck, i am the god of fuck
virgins sold in quantity, herded by heredity
red-neck-burn-out-mid-west-mind, "who said date rape isn't kind?"
porno-nation, evaluation
what's this, "time for segregation"
libido, libido fascination, too much oral defication
white trash get down on your knees, time for cake and sodomy
time for cake and sodomy
(I am the god of fuck, i am the god of fuck)
vcr's and vasoline, tv-fucked by plastic queens
cash in hand and dick on screen, who said god was ever clean?
bible-belt 'round anglo-waste, putting sinners in their place
yeah, right, great if you're so good explain the shit stains on your face
white trash get down on your knees, time for cake and sodomy
time for cake and sodomy
Now some lyrics from that wholesome 50 cent......
"U Not Like Me"
NYPD, LAPD, NYPD (When it's on, that's who you get, huh?)
NYPD, LAPD, NYPD (That's your motherfuckin' click, huh?)
NYPD, LAPD, NYPD (You a motherfuckin' snitch, huh?)
NYPD, LAPD, NYPD
[Verse]
Niggas wanna shine like me (me), rhyme like me (me)
Then walk around with a 9 like me (me)
They don't wanna do it, 3 to 9 like me
And they ain't strong enough to take 9 like me
Aiyoo, you think about shittin' on 50... save it
My songs belong in the Bible with King David
I teach niggas sign language, that ain't def son
[click, click] you heard that? That mean RUN
Ask around, I ain't the one you wanna stun on, pa
Pull through, I'll throw a fucking cocktail at ya' car
From the last shootout, I got a demple on my face
It's nothin', I could go after Mase's fanbase
Shell hit my jaw, I ain't wait for doctor to get it out
Hit my wisdom tooth *huck-too* spit it out
I don't smile a lot, cause ain't nothin' pretty
Got a purple heart for war, and I ain't never left the City
Hos be like "Fitty, you so witty"
On the dick like they heard I ghostwrite for P.Diddy
You got fat while we starve, it's my turn
I done felt how the shells burn, I still won't learn
Won't learn
[Chorus 2X]
If you get shot and run to the cop - You not like me
You ain't got no work on the block - You not like me
It's hot, you ain't got no drop - You not like me
Like me duke, you not like me

Steve Malzberg spews hours and hours of hatred over the radio airways everyday. He makes allegation after allegation without any documented proof to back it up. Where is the accountabilty? Why doesn't someone call him to task and have him prove just one charge he's leveled against Mr. Obama. At various times, he's called him a Muslim and/or a socialist communist! He's not an American Citizen! Mr. Malzberg thinks he's so nuanced and optuse when he refers to Senator Obama as Barack "Hussein" Obama; as intelligent Americans of all faiths and nationalites don't know what Mr. Malzberg is trying to do.
As an American, I understand we all have different points of view and all should be respected. What I don't get is why Mr. Malzberg hates so much. How will we unite after this election and resolve the difficult issues that we face when people like Mr. Malzberg are more intent on hating than finding common ground with those he differs with. .
At the end of the day, someone, whether it be Senator Obama or McCain will have to govern. How do people like Mr. Malzberg expect Mr.McCain to govern when his campaign, supported by Mr. Malzberg's dispicable rhetoric has been used to divide this nation.
I've stopped listening to Mr. Malzberg. Not because of his opposition to Senator Obama but because it's hatred like his that are bleeding this country. He would better be served if he conducted an honest and open discussion of the issues we face.
Shame on you Mr. Malzberg. Art Rust Junior would not recognize you for the man you've become.

Steve Malzberg is nothing more than a shock jock. Don't listen to him. He tries to make a name for himself by saying ridiculous things- from accusing Obama of everything under the sun, to make sexist remarks about Katie Couric. It's people like him that cause violence in this country. When Obama gets elected, he will go after the most dangerous speech of all, right wing talk radio.

Bob, It's unfortunate that your obviously undeveloped brain was tricked into supporting the likes of Barrack "SADDAM HUSSEIN" obama. After he is done destroying the greatest country ever to bless this earth, I hope you will apply as a toilet cleaner at his hosienda in venezuela that hugo will have waiting for him after he is impeached, because that will be the only place you would be fit to work! Adios!

Hi Steve,
I would like to talk to Renee (stated she is Black) who called in 11/20/08 stating the reasons she didn't vote for Obama. She sounded very intelligent and insiteful and I would enjoy a Conversation w/ her. Is this possible? See my e-mail address. Renee are you out there !

I just heard Steve Malzberg state on todays Lou Dobbs TV show that President Obama does not love America. I am so disgusted about that, that I am tempted never to watch Lou Dobbs again if he wants to provide an outlet for such hateful rhetoric. Questioning Obam's policies is reasonable and fair, interpreting his mind and heart is NOT. Steve is just another example of how hateful republican conservatives will say and do anything to regain the power they used to bankrupt America.
Steve does not love truth, honour, justice or American principals. But my major conclusion to hearing such dishonest rhetoric from the right is: Keep on keeping on you ugly, hateful republicans. This type of rhetoric will ensure you don't regain power. Rush Limbaughs listeners could not elect a Pres. a second time after we are living with the results of their last one. If Bush had not so thorougly disgusted the American people we would not have a black President. Hey uglies - this is how the voter paid you back for your ugly, hateful lies and rhetoric! So I repeat - just keep on keeping on.

Malzberg is a flame-thrower. He figures the more outragous he gets, the higher his ratings will go. He is mistaken.
For people like Steve Malzberg there is no difference between Muslims and terrorists. He criticized Barrack Obama for addressing the muslim world and speaking to a muslim tv network.
A few weeks ago, he interviewed a mother who is affliated with the Harlem School System. He said, "Now obviously you are African American." The lady gave no indication of her race. This guy is a racist.

I enjoy how Steve Malzberg gets all you liberal dolts riled up. Never, do you simpletons come to the table with facts, just effeminate emotion.
Here's a great idea, go buy some carbon offsets and choke on them.

I heard his show the other day. What a moron. He uses the same sources over and over. He doesn't seem to check his facts. His skin is so thin he even has to come to a site like this and post! How anybody but the brain dead like himself who live in an oversimplified world where they don't have to think can listen to the drivel that comes from his mouth is beyond amazing.
By the way, learn to spell. Most people who pass the third grade know how to do it.

Steve Malzberg is a racist and he is afraid of the callers trying to confront him,because
He knows they may be right. I tried to call the show one day. The lady who answered the call if I was a liberal. I said Iwas in a way. Then she asked" Do you believe things happen for a reason?" I said yes. And then she disconnected me. This coward, Steve Malzberg doe not even have an e mail link or any contact link on his website. He is afraid to get emails will somehow make him think.
